Just a little bit more HP craftiness

Since I did the little crocheted snitch, I thought I'd go ahead and knit up this Harry Potter Dishcloth, just to be thorough. These picture patterned dishcloths are very difficult to photograph for me, so it's a little hard to see the pattern. (I LOVE these short little projects. I get the little thrill of finishing something which gives me that boost to start something else...)

Zoom!

Look at it go! It's the Golden Snitch! Can you catch it?

Yes, I know it's bright green...

...and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I wanted to make a shawl for my Grandma and I had this yarn, Yarn Bee Luscious in Spearmint, so I thought I'd give it a try. The pattern is called Easiest Shawl Ever, and I finished it in an evening with a size Q hook. It's not as big as I was hoping it would be and I think it decreases to rapidly.


I'm thinking fringe, any opinions? I'm not entirely sure I like it, so I may end up making another shawl with a different yarn...

First Ribbed Hat

I finished my first ribbed hat for The Ships Project this afternoon. The pattern is Emily's Ribbed Hat free on the Project's website. I used Lion Brand's Wool-Ease in Chesnut Heather. It looks ity-bitty (a little like that guy from Fat Albert, but I can't think of his name, the one with the face hat) but it really does stretch to fit someone's head. If it fits my big 'ol head, it should fit just about anybody's. I may add annother 8 stitches for the next one...



In progress:
* Very Easy Child's Sweater for Care Wool
* Lacy Baby Pullover

Munchin' Cuteness

Totally not knitting related but very cute!

Baby Kimono and Bobble Bag

Yay! I finally have finished pictures of the Baby Kimono, from Mason-Dixon, and the Bobble Bag, from One Skein. (I actually still have to sew a zipper in the bobble bag...sigh.) And here they are...



In progess:
* Ribbed Hat for The Ships Project
* Very Easy Child's Sweater for CareWool

New Yarn Storage Adventure

While in Oklahoma, I finally accummulated enough yarn that I had to come up with somewhere to store it. My clothes were evicted from the dresser and took up residence in the corner of the room next to the dresser, which was then taken over by the ever-growing stash of yarn.

However, in search of a better solution, a decided to get one of those hanging cloth sweater racks. It has eight compartments and all my yarn fits cosily inside. I'm very happy. :) Now, we'll just see how much I like it 6 months from now...
